I just read it today and really liked it. For me, it sticks to the pure definition of a thriller: a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes your palms sweaty. It's fast-paced all along and I quite liked the end. I'm looking forward to the rest of the books and to the tv show.

I too found Pines a thriller. All three of the Pines books were outstanding. They also aligned well with the TV program.
I liked this series. I had NO IDEA it was a tv show and now I'm actively trying to find a copy to borrow. I'd love to see some of this stuff in action.

Laura you should definitely try and read it, it is very good! I got the three books as a bundle on amazon for not even 10 bucks, so watch out, maybe they'll bring the deal back.

I read the 3 books for my trilogy and enjoyed them. I didn't know they were a TV show as well - I will have to look for it!
I bought these a few months back because they were cheep on Amazon. I hadn't had a chance to read yet so Pines was a perfect fit for this week. I watched the show and liked that the book didn't completely follow the show; it left some suspense that might not have been there otherwise.
I'm glad to hear it Samantha, I was afraid it would be a bust to watch the show after reading the books.Does the show cover the three books, or just the first one?
I finished the first book this morning so it is hard for me to say for sure. If I recall correctly the end of this first book takes place around the middle of the season. It could be that the tv show has gone in a whole different direction but I kind of think some of the ground covered in the show comes up in the next two books. For the most part I likes the show, I think there were some slow moments but overall a fun show to watch.
